Re: Caruso

I am definitely among those that have overworked my chops with too much chop building practice. I've since found that I need a mixture of chop building and just playing some music. Whether it be my Herring etude book or the like, or a band rehearsal of some kind. Look at the great jazz players, for example, that just played tunes and improvised over them on a daily basis. Some of them had great chops. If you're playing correctly the more the horn is on your face the stronger you'll get. IMO of course. Everyone is different. Thank you Andrew and Robin, I always enjoy your posts.
